The small North Carolina coastal town of Swansboro is dubbed "the friendly city by the sea"... and aptly so. It's quaint shops and great eating places make for a must trip if you are ever in eastern North Carolina. One of my favorite structures in the old town is the Olde Brick Store circa 1839. The former warehouse scarred by Civil War mortar shells once held naval stores, thousands of barrels of turpentine and sometimes prisoners.

This painting, on a gessoed panel with painted sides, is easily framed or displayed with a decorative easel.

All my paintings are signed originals using artist grade oils and archival surfaces. "Certificate of Authenticity" included.

Downtown Wilmington, North Carolina is steeped in history and southern charm. I could spend countless hours painting her old buildings with their varied shapes, colors and designs. This building on Front Street is across the street from the famed "Cotton Exchange". Upstairs is a studio apartment owned by one of my friends... it's as if he owns a piece of history.
